We've recently ( July) rehomed a miniature dachshund who is 6 years old. She's an absolute sweetheart but very needy. Wants to constantly be either sat beside you or on your knee. We have baby gates downstairs and on the stairs as we have young children. I'd say for the first month or so we had few issues but she's recently taken to having a wee/poo in the living room if we all go upstairs together ( tends to be bath time). She's not great at all at letting you know when she needs to go outside. She will occasionally run to the back door but not all the time. She is walked daily and let out frequently..I'd let her follow us upstairs tbh but I'm more concerned about her back - hence the stair gates ( plus I'm not a huge fan of dogs upstairs) I think her issues are down to anxiety as she's had a few homes but I'm not too sure how to move forwards with her. Thanks
